I went to Bluesky because some of my personal favorite non-tech Twitter personalties ended up there. I'm a fan of @Popehat, who has a lot of informed political legal commentary. There are also a number of fiction writers and artists I like there. Surprisingly full of the people I happen to want to subscribe to. And surprisingly large gardening and astronomy communities. Less my thing, but if your interests include trans rights, furry porn, or romance authors, Bluesky's definitely the place for you. Signing up went really well. Mastodon absolutely fumbled the Twitter disaster because it was difficult for non-technical people to figure out what to do. Bluesky just looks like Twitter unless you're actively looking for options to be on another server.

Mastodon has fixed their onboarding process (a bit late) to be much more user friendly. > if your interests include trans rights, furry porn, or romance authors, Bluesky's definitely the place for you. Same could be said for Mastodon, plus retrocomputing and a lot of tech people who don’t want to be on Musk’s Nazi bar anymore. Compiler folks and John Mashey hang out on Mastodon. If you follow US politics, you do want to be on BS, though. Mastodon is better for international politics and stuff like Eurovision.
